Neither fans work. The car didn’t get near the red zone, but it was climbing that way in traffic, and luckily there was room to start moving again and all was fine on my hour ride home. Just in 5+ mins of dead stop traffic did this occur. I drive this car a lot and the fans are usually rather loud, when stuck in long traffic.
Can’t get them to work with AC on or off. I’ve also always had cold air. Earlier today the AC was blowing warm for 2mins, and I just rolled down the windows thinking there’s probably a leak in the system. On my ride home the AC was back to normal. Weird.

The relays are not in the flip top fuse box, its in the box right behind it, to get to it raise the hood vertical (service position) and then unscrew the top of the box, you will see a bunch of relays there and in those relays will be tiny regular blade fuses. (the blue and green relays for the fan are side by side closer to the fender)
btw - your engine should never heat up to danger point even if the condenser fans are off, the main engine fan should be working pretty strong with hot ambient temp and A/C running. (you will hear it roar like a garbage truck or school bus)
If its not roaring - the fan clutch is probably dead, and needs to be replaced/refilled.
